Shipped out a TON of stuff today. If you are leading on an item and havent heard from me yet about closing the bid, please reach out to me. Might have missed it in the ton of mails and messages.

Nice to see a familiar face!

Tempted to finally pick up a G80-1800 but I haven't even used my computer for nearly 7 years new (jeez time flies 😬) so it's hard to justify 🙃

Dear InterNet,

Alas !

I know it has been a whiLe since we were on speaking terms.   The paper calenders I use to tell the date now l̶i̶t̶e̶r̶ littter my desk like yesterdays' c̶o̶v̶f̶e̶f̶e̶ c̶o̶n̶f̶r̶e̶t̶i̶ tractor feed.  As do the reference books--notable and authoritative- -I use to find the  nottable and  authorly information I seek :- instead of you.    Have you ever read an e̶n̶c̶l̶ ̶e̶n̶c̶y̶l̶c̶ ̶e̶n̶y̶c̶ a dictionary ?   Would you even know were too begin ?   I dont believe you do.

Why then do I re-turn from my blessed  sanctuary of the electronic dessert isle ?  Well,  typewriter ribb̶onns are becomming hard to  scource.    It is with no small irony that  1 find myself compelled to use you  1ce again simply just to turn my back on you  1nce  more.  Do not mistake my presense for interest.   It is, as we say :— s̶t̶r̶c̶t̶l̶y̶ ̶s̶e̶l̶e̶c̶t̶r̶i̶c̶.

Yours,
ZXCVBNM

It's not that bad, sure was nice not lugging a computer around with me around the world. And now I'm used to doing everything on my phone, and that's gotten a lot easier than when I started on my Sony Ericsson Xperia active.

Hi Ascaii,
what are your thoughts on the Loewe keyboard? What are the switches like - any good? It looks cool, in any case. (Well, in its own case, actually, ahem ... )

I have a Loewe aswell, the key press is short, like surprisingly short, but very sharp. The tactility is pleasing.

Good to hear! Have any of you successfully converted it for use on a PC?

I haven't, maybe ascaii did? Tbh I haven't spent enough time on the board. Just ghost typed on it for a few minutes. 😂 It is a unique board.

I can only agree with Inozenz about the feel. It is quite nice. As for conversion..I never made an effort to. Since it was a BTX board, its not quite the same as an AT/XT.

Cool!

Now that I have you - which switches are these switches? (Try saying that quickly a few times; which switches are these switches, ... )

Lots more sold and shipped. Also, full disclosure, the g80-2510 on ebay is mine as well. I want to see how crazy things are these days. And considering some of the offers ive received by mail already, this one should be very interesting.

I also received my parcel!!! Shipping took every bit of two months - thanks, global shipping crisis. But Ascaii was a stand-up gentleman and I never had any doubts I would, in fact, eventually see my keyboards.
